I have several large garden siders that have set up residence in my living room. Agreed, very large ones & the skinnier males can look a bit "grizzly", but in reality there are very docile, not in the slightest bit aggressive. They stick to their webs and tend to flee, or drop on a long thread & play dead, at any potential contact with humans.

I have come to see them in a whole new light & now rather like having them around.
